This Actor's Real-Life Love Story Is As Filmy As It Gets

The actor's wife shared details of their whirlwind romance and marriage

While the chances of a sudden gust of wind blowing our way or a quartet of violinists standing next to us when we find our soulmates are extremely slim, most of us love a mushy love story. And it looks like Kannada actor Rishi has gotten lucky in real-life just as he does in his films. The actor's wife, Swathi Parasuraman, recently shared details of their romance and dreamy wedding with Humans Of Bombay. In an Instagram post, she opened up about how the two knew they were perfect for each other. Swathi said that it all started when she saw. Rishi acting in a play in Bengaluru. “After post-graduation, I moved to Bangalore for a job. I was new in town and decided to go to a theatre to watch a play. That's where I met Rishi; he was an actor in the play. His height and smile stood out amidst the crowd and I thought, ‘He's so charming!' During the interval, I congratulated him, ‘You dance really well'; he blushed! I was attracted to him so, the next day, I looked him up on FB and we started chatting.” Their love blossomed over coffee and storytelling until they realised that they had fallen for each other. Reliving the moment, she said, “For the next few months, we kept meeting, and on one of our dates, I told him, ‘I like you.' He said, ‘I was just going to say the same thing!'; he was looking for something long term too. The same evening, both of us blurted, ‘I love you'. It was telepathy.”
